Billy Gibbons amp

Re: Billy Gibbons amp

Oh yeah, I changed the power switch. Was kinda tough finding a 5 pin Marshall as all I saw was 4 pins. The original was made in England, the replacement did'nt have the same marking and the pins were ass backwards...well the English do drive on the opposite side of the road...hehe. Works like a charm. Wish voodooman would hurry up and send me that pedal so I can see what the lead boost sounds like.

Re: Billy Gibbons amp

Thanks again dave....not only is this amp a pretty face, it kicks ass! The missing link of my sonic quest, I had the BEST tone ever at my last gig. I use the Reverend, the Legend and a Fender. I've used the Reverend and the Fender before, but with the Legend, the perfect mid crunch. Very Marshall like, a big clear crunch with just enough gain. Using 3 amps give me such a big range of tone, when all 3 are used, it's pure rock tone. I also feel the Duncan 59s in my LP are part of the great tone, I roll the volumes down a notch to help keep the gain from going OTT. Could also be I just switched all 3 amp cables to George Ls? I don't know, but I was really shocked how great everything sounded. My buddy who gave me the amp (guitarist in my other band) came to see us, called me later to tell me that I had really great tone....he was blown away. He's a total tone freak/gear nut with Marshall, Boogie, Mesa, Soldano...we talked at length about my tone and tried to dissect it, making sure I keep it for our band too:fing2:. Hauling 3 amps and an ext cab to gigs may not be easy, but my 'wall of tone' gives me what I want. It's still 4-12s,but won't break my back like a half stack. I'll take a pic at my next gig.

I figured it had some amazing sound or you wouldn't have spent that much time re-doing it. I'd love to hear that setup live! I'll bet you could melt the 1st 3 rows!!
I still love the look...even without hearing it!
